Your Heart - is the heart of YOU ...
It isn't just about love hearts, your heart is the powerhouse that powers you.
Keep Your Heart Healthy, it is the driving force of your cardiovascular system, it pumps blood around the body through an intricate series of veins and arteries.
Essentially, your heart is a powerful muscle which requires nutrients of its own to carry out its job. Your blood acts as a carrier, delivering fresh oxygen (and nutrients) to all the tissues, muscles and cells throughout your body.
Branching off the larger vessels of your heart are tiny blood capillaries that diffuse oxygen into your cells and remove waste products. Your blood takes the waste products and disposes of them through the kidneys, liver and lungs. Back in the lungs, your blood is refreshed with oxygen and the cycle takes place all over again.
Your veins and arteries that service your heart have different functions. Arteries transport newly oxygenated blood away from your heart; veins transport deoxygenated blood towards your heart.

Your lymphatic system.... it's important in helping keep your heart healthy
One way valves... Drainage channels... Whoa heavy...
Your lymphatic system is a completely closed and separate system to that of the arteries and veins, but it is an integral part of your whole circulation system.
The fluid that runs through its arterial-type system, with one-way valves to prevent backflow, is called lymph. Its purpose is to carry away toxins from your arteries and veins.
Your lymphatic system is actually part of your immune system, filtering potentially harmful substances and detoxifying them. The lymph passes through lymph glands, which are large collecting areas that trap circulating bacteria and viruses and prevent them from running riot throughout your body.
Your lymph glands contain and form lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. These T-lymphocytes are involved in attacking invading organisms.
Lymph glands are found all over your body: under your arms, in your groin, and under your jawbone in particular. This explains the swollen glands we experience when we have a bacterial infection - it's your body's immune system dealing with it.
Lymphatic vessels are like small veins that join together to form larger vessels. The largest vessel is the thorasic duct which starts in your small intestine & drains into your left subclavian vein. On your right side is your lymphatic duct which drains into the right subclavian vein.
It's important that your heart is pumping properly to allow your system to move and process the waste products dumped into your veins by your lymph system.
One way valves control the flow but any disruption can cause deposits and clogs that won't do your entire cardiovascular system any good at all.
Keep your heart healthy and you will benefit from increased energy levels and the ability to live a full and active life. Ignore the health of your heart and you will pay a heavy price.
